The Department of Physics at the University of
Virginia is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to work in the
area of experimental subatomic physics. Candidates with outstanding
research potential and with an interest in electroweak
studies in electron-nuclear scattering are especially invited to apply.
Research will be conducted at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator
Facility in Newport News, Virginia, with a focus on current and future
measurements of parity violation in electron
scattering. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to
develop an independent research effort and to participate in other
aspects of the rich research program at the laboratory.
This position will be supported by a Department of Energy research
contract. This is a one-year appointment; however, the appointment may
be renewed for two additional one-year terms, contingent upon available
funding and satisfactory performance. The completion
of a Ph.D. degree in experimental nuclear or high energy physics is
required by the appointment start date. Priority will be given to
candidates with a track-record of excellence in subatomic physics
research, including both significant analysis experience
and hands-on hardware experience (for example: detector systems or
laser optics).
To apply, please submit a candidate profile on-line and attach a cover
letter, curriculum vitae and the contact information for three
professional references through Jobs@UVA (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://jobs.virginia.edu">https://jobs.virginia.edu</a>); search on posting
number 0613931.
Review of applications will begin on April 28, 2014; however, the position will remain open until filled.
Questions regarding this position should be directed to:
Prof. Kent Paschke </pre>
